Sermon Discussion Questions
- Words are powerful. What is the kind of influence that can have over our lives? Look through the list given by Beth Jones in her book. Take time to read through the verses cited. How does knowing the power you are able to wield with your words change your attitude to what you say? Which particular power that words have strike you the most?
- What does it mean to agree with God? What happens when we are not walking in agreement with God? How does it affect us and those around us? (Malachi 3:13-14)
- Life and death are in the power of the tongue. To be able to use the tongue powerfully for good, we need to examine our hearts. Take time to meditate on Matt 12:33-34. What should we fill our hearts with to be able to speak good things?
